Stopped by Southern Table in Athens for a mimosa and a light meal and left thoroughly impressed. The restaurant sits right beside the courthouse square, with convenient street and square parking nearby. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and refined, with quiet, subtle music playing in the background that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the experience.
Owned and managed by Ryan Yokley and Keri Golden, Southern Table has been part of the Athens dining scene since December 2023 and truly feels like a hidden gem.
The owners are enthusiastic, hands-on, and clearly take pride in the restaurant—and the staff speaks very highly of them, which shows in the overall culture and service.
The service staff were outstanding: attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful throughout the visit.
I ordered a mimosa and the wood-fired grilled lamb chops ($18), served with chimichurri, mint pepper jelly, and crispy onions. The dish arrived as one of the most beautifully plated entrées I’ve seen—visually striking before the first bite.
The lamb was tender and perfectly cooked, with smoky depth from the grill, balanced by the brightness of the chimichurri and the subtle sweetness of the mint pepper jelly, while the crispy onions added texture. The mimosa was fresh, smooth,cold, and well-balanced.
A polished yet welcoming restaurant that feels like a true point of pride for the Athens community—and one well worth seeking out.

The Southern Table is elevated Southern done right. Thoughtful, welcoming, and rooted without being dated.
I’ve been writing about food for 17 years, and returning to my home state is made easier, and honestly more joyful, because of restaurants like this. It’s the kind of place that understands hospitality as much as flavor. You can feel the intention in the room and on the plate.
Under Talented Chef Ryan Yokley, the menu strikes that rare balance of comfort and polish. And the shrimp and grits? The best I’ve had. Full stop.
North Alabama is lucky to have this place.

The place is beautiful, but I feel like the prices I paid just weren’t worth it. My fish was more breading than fish and the menu didn’t state the brussel sprouts had blue cheese. I just wasn’t impressed with the quality for how much I spent. This feels like they can’t decide between being cracker barrel adjacent or fine dining… The portions were decent, but left wishing I had gone somewhere else or ordered something different.

This is not a “southern” restaurant. It’s more like a fine dining place with deer and fish mounted on the walls and fried foods on the menu. If you want to spend an absurd amount of money for menu items that are deep fried, and that makes you feel like you are at a Southern restaurant, then this might be the place for you. But I will not be coming back here. I can pay way less money for better quality food at several other places in town.

Fabulous food! I ate blackened catfish with garlic cheese grit and green beans that were kissed by the grill. My wife had the tomahawk pork chop she said it was delicious. I also had the appetizer lamb chops. Total of four with two different sauces on sets of two. My family has been raving about this place for months!! It didn’t disappoint!

First time going for dinner and it was really good. The special tonight sounded real good but I couldn’t pass up the pork chop after the wood roasted oysters. Overall the food was great and Will was a great waiter. He was able to answer our questions about the menu and was very attentive on refilling our drinks.

Great food, friendly service, and good southern atmosphere! Highly recommend for locals and anyone visiting the area. Highly recommend the smoked chicken, green beans and brussell sprouts.

The food was amazing, the service was amazing, and did I say the food was amazing. It is make fresh daily of delicious ingredients and thoughtfully plated with very large portions. The chicken biscuits were spot on and the scrambled eggs reminded me of the ones my grandmother made for me as a child. Highly recommend this quaint little restaurant for a Sunday brunch stop.

Outstanding food and service! Steve took great care of us. Fried chicken was the best and also blackened cat fish. Green beans and hand cut fries outstanding! We will be back!

Smoked chicken wings with dry rub were great! Only $12 for 8 wings. Great Beer prices too and exceptional service and ambience. Rhiannon was a server and she was great!
It’s right next to Merchant’s Alley which is a great spot to visit in Athens.
